So blessed to have been part of the group who met Mary everyday at the bus stop in Maple Leaf. Always laughter and a warm smile. Always remembered.
It was after amalgamation that all the Bellevue/Maple Leaf kids were transported to Isabelle Sellon Jr./St. High in Blairmore. Grade 7 was the introduction to a whole new group who would remain friends, despite not always being in regular contact. Mary was one of those who stepped off the bus, along with twin sister Marg. There was no shortage of laughs and great times, new stories of the haunted Bellevue Catholic Church and Cherries soaked for a year to be tasted only at the 'Hopalochka' parties. Mary always had a megawatt smile and positive outlook that brightened any dull day. My sympathy to you, Ray and Amy and also Marg and family for this premature passing of Mary. She, kndeed, leave her mark in our world. God Bless, Fay
